I saw one on the Forum last week I think and it evoked a few comments --- somebody said that they had only ever seen one I think.

Check this out on : www.wightbay.com under Car Services, Parts & Accessories an ad by Taylor & Son ( ad ref no. is 4763312 ). A blue N reg 6 seater MPV with wierd bumper and Grey Body-kit. I have just bought it for £150 for spares. Then half an hour later a P reg silver MPV for £100 for spares or repair --- both from my Wanted avert on the Sliding Display on the Home page. Well pleased I must say.

just put 12 months MOT on itdoesn't have the v5c yetcalls himself Topmechanic12345

hmmmm?

opens with a tale about not converting it into a camperoversells it as being "RUN FOREVER" body work "MAKES IT LOOK QUITE STUNNING"Bet the respray is a top job as the rust is scabbing through the runners already!

Its definitely a bit tidier than the one I have just been and paid for. It does have the Original Grey body-kit with SE badges and that protruding bumper that has yellow fog-lights and oblong spot-lights. It has a nice flat 4 spoke steering wheel, 2 sun-roofs,AND WAIT FOR IT --- THE ORIGINAL SE ALLOY WHEELS !!!!

Cant believe my luck really. Mind you he had the nerve to rob me by charging me £150 for it --- and unlike the other one -I have got the v5 with it too.

Spoiler?... does HJs go fast enough for this to be of use

Blimey LP !! It has already been said he would kill to get his hands on an SE Rear Spoiler. Making insinuations like that to a man of HJ's standing about his prized wheels could mean the rare breed world Leopard population could decline by one in Mildenhall shortly.

I used to drive past an SE that parked at a business unit I passed daily, and always wanted the little spoiler off it! So much so I made my ignis spoiler, but it's just too chavy, I want an original SE one.

Well I went and picked up my rare little beast on the transporter this afternoon and got it safely back to my workshop and I am chuffed with it. Unfortunately the engine chuffs a bit too-- like a minature version of Stevensons Rocket --- but what the heck -- I dont care. I have the Alloy wheels, some very good blue material door trims, a new silencer and CAT and loads of sell-a-ble bits and pieces and the radiator I need for the Silver one I bought on Saturday.

AND - AND----- a lovely blue Rear Door Spoiler for you HJ .F.O.C. I havent yet decided who I want de-capitating but I will let you know shortly. Give me a call if you can between 9-30pm and 10-00pm or after 10-30pm and arrange the delivery details my friend. And thank you once again for all the help you give everyone on this Forum --- you are a real Diamond. Woody.

What i can do Woody is split a post off away from a thread to create its own thread in the sale section. just PM me when your ready & i'll do that for you.. that way people are seeing the info in the right places.

i use interparcel.com you can get quotes once you put weight/measurements in. you can also pay using paypal never had any issues with using the site.

I'll second interparcel.com, and prefer to select TNT - they are brilliant in my area. One word of warning, take pics of the packaged (unsealed) box in case there's any damage claim - they can be very tight on that.

Thank you very much for all that LP. That sounds very useful to me --- as I can never get posts in the right places on here. Complete Bonehead me !!

THANK YOU TOO FOR THAT PFM. IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO RECEIVE SIMILAR RECCOMENDATIONS. ODDLY ENOUGH I PHOTOGRAPH ALL THE JOBS I DO, PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL AND AS YOU HAVE SUGGESTED THE PARCEL AND ITS CONTENTS AND STAGE BY STAGE WRAPPING OF THE GOODSI SEND SO THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE. GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE. GOT OVER 7000 PHOTOS ON MY CAMERA!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KINDNESS. REGARDS WOODY.

Matt, got any coach tour companies near to you? if so have a chat with a driver, Ive had parts for my monkey bikes from the IOW to me, ok it may cost me a drink but if it's breakable you know it will be with you in 1

That's a brilliant suggestion dinoh. I have a friend of many many years who owns the largest privately owned Coach Companies on the Island --- A.L.S. Travel. Oddly enough I saw him this afternoon and will be with him on this Sunday afternoon. Mind you he might grizzle if I asked him to get one of his drivers to drop a Hi-Jet engine off somewhere.
